No eARC? Arcana from HD Fury has arrived and it works with the Sonos Arc!

Sonos Arc owners are starting to receive the first shipments of the Arcana device from HD Fury. Most of these people are Sonos Arc owners who have older TVs without an eARC connection or a TV that can’t pass through Dolby Digital Plus or Dolby Atmos audio. I’m happy to report that the Arcana works! I own a 2013 Panasonic plasma with an HDMI ARC connection and I can now get Dolby TrueHD/Dolby Atmos audio from my Panasonic UHD Blu-ray player and Dolby Digital Plus/Dolby Atmos audio from my Roku Ultra with the Arcana device.

I’ll be happy to share my full setup if anyone is interested.

The Arcana is shipping now:

    @melvimbe thanks for your workthrough, I have got the skyq working through arcana but cannot get the bluray player to switch in.

    I’m also not convinced the picture is any better than what I experienced previously.

    Could I trouble you to send me the settings on your arcana screen and vertex2 screen. 

    I will then set it up the same and see whether it will work.

    I have now downloaded the vertex app so presumably if autoswitch doesnt work I just click on the hdmi input i want to use.

    Both work great separately with the arcana!

    Thanks again

    Is an HDMI 2.0 Cable with Ethernet 18Gbs OK for all the connections or do I need an HDMI 2.1 cable for the ARC to Arcana & Xbox One X to Roofull HDMI Switch?

    What would be the best Streaming device - The new Chromecast, Amazon Fire, NVidia Shield to get the best quality Netflix etc? Using a 75” Sony XF9005 (X900F is USA Version)

    Looking forward to receiving my Arcana.

    Thanks for all your help

    HDMI 2.0 cables will work just fine. HD Fury recommends KabelDirekt or Zeskit cables that support 120Hz at 4K.

    An Apple TV 4K, Nvidia Shield TV Pro or Nvidia Shield TV seem to be the best all around streaming devices. Although if you are only concerned about Netflix, you should be able to get Dolby Vision/Dolby Atmos from Netflix on your Xbox One X. Be sure to have the Premium subscription.

    Brilliant, thank you
